DRAFTSITE SCOUTING REPORT

An intriguing high school who has made the transition for being a forward to a rushing defenseman. After a growth spurt, he now has good size, wheels and offensive instincts. That helped him amass 20 goals and 81 points in his 50 game season in his sophomore year of high school. A terrific skater with great stop/starts, good edge work, with good vision and up-ice mobility. A power play quarterback who reads and creates in all phases of the attack. His lack of experience at his position seems a mute point, as he shows solid understanding of defensive zone positioning and his responsibilities as a defender. Committed to the University of Minnesota, where he will continue his development.
